A lot of answers:

   - No one gets fired for buying IBM
   - The issues around compliance/security/support are/should be sorted as part of the contract
   - OS projects don't invite managers for lunch
   - You need to factor in the price of support if you run OS projects. You will probably need few devs and sysadmins to run an enterprise-level solution
   - Documentation/training/videos for end-users

- OS won't pay your buddy a bonus who happens to work in b2b sales

- OS won't offer you a fuctitious consulting job if your current employer gives you a sack

- OS won't fill your non existent swiss bank account
